Would it be better for Long Live the Kings to be posted chronologically with edited chapter orders, or non-chronological with new chapters appearing at the end as they're finished?
Chronological
As the chapters are finished
In Life Line, should Jack get a soulmate too in his own spin-off?
Yes
No
…You’re already writing it aren’t you?
Making another poll, character limit too small so read this first lol.
If you, as an author, were paid to write *exactly seven books for your original story to make it a complete series*, what would you do?
Option 1: I would not plan anything at all, make everything up as I go along, no end goal
Option 2: I would make up the plots of individual books as I went along from one book to another, publishing as I go, but I would have a general outline of ideas for the series, and have a specific goal for the ending that connects everything
Option 3: I would make a detailed outline for the series and individual books, and write and publish each book individually as I complete them
Option 4: I would make a detailed outline for the overarching series, for each individual book, and I would not publish any until I had all or most of the series drafted or even fully complete

Option One: "Character Name and their party walked through the field of flowers for awhile. Character Name usually loved plants, but didn't have time to look at anything, because the group was pushing so fast. Eveyone else was taller than Character Name. Eventually, the party came to a stop at a nearby town, and the party leader went into the local tavern while everyone else sat outside. Character Name was completely exhausted."

Option Two: "Character Name trudged after the other members of their party, feeling their feet getting heavier and heavier. They had already been walking for hours, and a stitch was starting to develope in their side, making it hard to breathe as they tried to keep up with the taller members of their group. The flowers that surrounded them were beautiful, and Character Name would usually love to look more closely, but the pace the group was moving meant they were forced to focus all of their attention on watching their step and having to break into a jog whenever they caught their breath enough to do so; none of the others spared them more than a glance, and they knew none of them would dare, or care, to ask the party leader to slow down; it was either keep up, or be left behind. Eventually, they reached the edge of the field where a small village had been established between the field and the river, and the party leader called a halt, telling them to take a break while he went in to inquire about local leads. Character Name trudged along wearily behind their other party members, claiming the last seat, and slumping down into the chair, every muscle in their legs aching, and even worse, itching up a storm. Massaging their legs to try to get the blood flowing again, they rested their forehead on the table and focused on their breathing. They had never been so exhausted in their *life*.
Which of these do you prefer as prose to develop the setting, characters, and the relationships between these characters, in between major scenes in the narrative?
Option one - one paragraph barebones overview
Option two - two paragraph, detailed overview
purely for my own curiosity..
this poll is for reading fanfiction. there will be another poll in a reblog for writing fanfiction
there is also some criteria definitions below the poll to explain the options!
when you are looking for a multi-chapter fic to read, or when you find yourself choosing one fic over another...
what do you find yourself more drawn to?
main focus on plot, incidental focus on character
leaning towards plot, but definitely not absent of character
leaning towards character, but not absent of plot
main focus on character, incidental focus on plot
i only read one-shots/pwp
i don't read enough fanfic to have a preference
by PLOT i mean story movement that is happening in the world and is not about the characters. this could be a mystery, an in-depth exploration of canon, the machinations of a super-removed-from-canon au, etc
by CHARACTER i mean that any movement in the story is about the characters. interpersonal drama, a focus on character growth, a retelling of canon through the eyes of Not The Main Character, etc
would you rather read a slowburn fic with shorter chapters that end when the scene naturally shifts, or a fic with longer segmented chapters?
shorter chapters that follow scene changes
longer chapters with multiple scenes
